Blind Item: Which Show Will Be Seeing Double?

The fans of a certain primetime actor will double their pleasure by season’s end, when their favorite star pops up in a dual role.

Is this a case of an “evil twin” (viva Grant Putnam!), an unexplained doppelganger (remember Peter Brady and Arthur Owens?), or the increasingly trendy alt-universe counterpart? I’m not at liberty to say, because the reveal is meant to be quite the finale-time showstopper. (And trust me, it will be.)

I can only part with this one hint: The show in question is a drama. Also, I’m personally curious to see the performer in question share his/her take on this “double take.”

Greys. The best part about these blind items is that usually there are textual clues as to which show it is. As he referred to it as a “showstopper”, i can only imagine that is a reference to the greys musical.

What if Addison began working on both shows, or if Ben came back to Greys AND worked on off the map. Would personally love to see two lots of Cristina. –> How many other shows are out there with a spin-off series that could actually attempt to pull this off?

Ya, I can see where your coming from, Just when you watch a couple of episodes and resart following the time line…they show reruns and you lose whats going on. I’ve been forced, more than once, to catch up on the story line, online….shame on ABC

NCIS is definitely a drama (there are 2 over-arching categories for fictional TV shows–drama and comedy. Procedurals are a sub-category of drama.) But this would never happen on NCIS. They’re too classy, too careful for an episode like that.

Weatherly has basically already done this. Remember the episode where he was accused of murder and thrown in jail for the day? He played out his cross-examination in the jail cell, as the attorney and the witness.

I thought Peter too. For a while I’ve been thinking that there’s more to the guy than we’ve been shown. I’ve been wondering if maybe Walternate didn’t switch Peters as well as Olivia’s. Our Walter took a Peter from another universe, who’s to say Walternate hasn’t done the same and made him a secret agent.

So, maybe Walternate has been scouring the multiverse for alt-versions of Peter to find one that can activate the machine only to discover that his son, the one Walter stole, is the only one that can do it?

I suppose it’s plausible (I’m not particularly fund of the idea, though).

There’s one thing I don’t get. The machine is millions of years old, meaning that it was built before Peter was born, so why would the First People calibrate it to only work for him?

This is hugely stretching and I don’t think it fits the clues quite so well, but if Peter and Olivia’s relationship is looking towards up, wouldn’t it be crazy to see Alt-Universe John Scott, our Olivia’s old boyfriend, made an appearance?
Bound with little to no evidence to suggest otherwise, but he is one of the few (if not the only) recurring characters who hasn’t shown up in both worlds. I just think that would shake the show in an interesting way.

I think those suggesting Grey’s aren’t thinking in terms of sci fi, but soapy drama/insane season finales. Which Grey’s does (the Mark/Callie/Arizona baby, anyone?), which is why so many of us have stopped watching. Fringe sounds like a good choice to me, though.

No that was Nick Lane, another of the kids in the Cortexiphan trials. He was “bad” but he was able to learn how to control his abilities and joined the Rescue Peter group in last season’s finale. He disappeared with Sally, another kid from the Cortexiphan trials, while they were being chased in the alternate universe by Lincoln.

I’m new to watching Fringe, so I’m not sure if people are really fans of Joshua Jackson as much as they are just fans of this show and this article implies the person who’s doing the dual role has a big fan base.

Sounds like Peter (or, I suppose, Nina Sharp–although she’s a mysterious character already) on FRINGE, if they create yet another universe; we already see double with the rest of the cast. Then again, it wouldn’t surprise me if simply interacting with the freakin’ doomsday/creation device spawns an evil Peter twin or something. You never know with that show, and if it’s meant to be a season-ending shock, it certainly sounds Fringian. But perhaps not. As for other shows, I really don’t know.

I just saw this on a Castle update….

Murder is an everyday occurrence on the set of Temptation Lane, but this time, it’s not an act. Could this mean there won’t be a guest appearance by a previously unknown twin?

It’s gotta be NCIS. There was a spoiler a while back saying that they were gonna do a doppleganger-type story and it would play into the finale because the team wouldn’t realize that one of their own wasn’t who they said they were.

it is bizarro some one got to suck the green k out of lana so her and clark can ride of in the sun set and plus a good friend of matt’s over at k site by the name of greg been waiting to spill the beans on kk coming back for a while.greg been droping hints on his tweeter for a while.

IF it is another Peter on Fringe, it’d definitely have to be a 3rd universe. Because he’s known as missing in the 2nd universe. That wouldn’t be the case if Walternate had somehow managed to steal the original universe’s Peter and somehow cure him.

Maybe I’m reading too much into his pun, but the reference to “twin piqued” makes me think of Psych, which is theoretically planning another Twin Peaksy episode. I don’t watch the show, so I’m not sure if its season is even going on, but maybe this is it.

I think the fact that we’ve never heard about Jane’s mother, or possible other siblings makes me think it could possibly be a twin. Red John does tease him with:
“Tyger, Tyger, burning bright, in the forests of the night…what immortal hand or eye could frame thy FEARFUL SYMMETRY?…”

Oh! I know, it’s because Castle on Facebook just posted this message;
“Murder is an everyday occurrence on the set of Temptation Lane, but this time, it’s not an act. Could this mean there won’t be a guest appearance by a previously unknown twin?”

Bwahaha, Matt….an evil smile came over my face as I read the name “Grant Putnam”! I started watching GH because of Grant & Celia….and will never forget the evil grin on his doppelganger’s face as he entered the courtroom with his hair slicked back a la Grant. Classic soap reference!

I would love for this blind to be about the Vampire Diaries, although I seriously doubt it. However I think it would be way cool if there was an doppleganger of Matt. Could you imagine “Evil Matt”….or better yet, I think it would be great if Stefan,or Jeremy had a evil doppleganger.
